Think we've upset him.....!

I was only passing on a comment that my Focus ST had, yes, Metallic Orange as well...which is by far my favourite colour, so no offence intended. Good luck with ARDS, very envious..

What does the test involve? I assume it's a little tougher than the highway code and parallel parking........ :P

Sure he'll give us some detail, I looked at this a while back. I had the study material and dvd and as I recall it's all about flags! Learn them and your half way there, learning how to drive fast is a totally different matter altogether!

I had a day booked at silverstone to do this but had to cancel, never got rebooked then sold the exige, didn't see the point when I was driving a Q7!!!
